I've been playing with the ADS properties...I've just noticed that there's no total datastream count or size on disk for directories. Is it me or does Everything not calculate for directories.
The copy datastream text column and the text to clipboard works well but is there a way of viewing the text in preview. Sometimes there's a lot of text which isn't really practical to read in the column.
I've noticed that when there's more than one ADS in a file the text doesn't appear.
ADS in directory
Re: ADS in directory
Thank you for the ADS feedback harryray2,
Please try pressing F5 to refresh your property cache.
Please let me know if this does or doesn't help, it might indicate an issue with Everything detecting changes to folders ADSs.
Text in each column will only display up to roughly 4000 characters.
NULs in the data stream will appear as spaces.
Is the value for Alternate Data Stream Count correct?
What is shown for Alternate Data Stream Hex when the text appears blank?
Everything should be listing ADS properties for folders.

Re: ADS in directory
Thanks, I tried F5 but I still can't get a result for folders.
I have some files with quite long streams...it would be useful if it could be read straight from Everything in a preview window.
I'm running Win 7

Re: ADS in directory
What is shown with the following commands in a command prompt:
- navigate to the parent folder location, for example:
cd c:\test\ADS - Run the following command:
dir /r /ad - What is shown in the command prompt?
(The output should list your directories and directory Alternate Data Streams)
